Without over using a cliche like "Pozzo Model" isn't it rather simple - the family will have a view on the maximum value the player could ever deliver them and if Stoke offer that or close enough then they will get him - if they do not reach that sort of level then they will think how they can achieve that - if playing for us is the answer then that is what will happen - all the nonsense about Papa etc is just that in my view. I suspect all of the other defensive midfield options are fall backs that will be triggered by the discussions between Udinese and Stoke other perhaps than Capoue which looks likely to happen anyway
Goal reporting us brom and West Ham are interested in Nene, who played at Upton Park on loan last season and Is meant to be going to play in Greece but apparently is now worried about the financial situation there.
Us and West Ham interested in the same player? If West Brom were mentioned in these articles I'd swear that these rumours are done by picking teams alphabetically.
If you asked me 3 years ago i'd snap your fingers off for him. These days I think he's a bit past it, can do better.
And his mates immediately told the Daily Mirror. And then told two friends And they told two friends And they told two friends And on And on And on
...and keeping us in the top tier rather than strengthening teams we will play against isn't worth rather more?
of course - but Badu is not unique - i suspect when they sold cuadrado / sanchez etc then the same sort of issues were considered and they will be planning with and without him in our squad and will expect success either way
Maybe they think Badu isn't good enough, and want to cash in on him rather than burden us? If they want him to come here, he'll be here.
If Badu isn't coming here, it's because we don't want Badu. Suprised he isn't going to Bournemouth, though. Badu like to be beside the seaside, Badu like to be beside the sea.
This makes sense. The Pozzos might be wrong in thinking this, but if he goes to Stoke they clearly see the cash as more value than his potential to help Watford. Just hope is only two MoM performances this season are not against us.
Love me like Badu La-la-love me like Badu [video=youtube;AJtDXIazrMo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJtDXIazrMo[/video]
